Santa Anas Tonight? Do These 3 Things

When the Santa Ana winds kick up, embers can travel a long way ahead of a fire. Here are three things to do tonight.

  1. Clear your gutters, and move wood piles away from the house. Embers love dry debris.
  2. Know where your nearest hydrant is, and confirm your evacuation route.
  3. Pack the go-bag, and put it by the door.

If they say go, you go. Preparation is for the time before an evacuation order, never a reason to stay.
